Why Eric in particular?

Yeah, I mean, my dad and I, we've been talking about adding someone new, uh, for a few years.

And no, we've been patient.

We didn't wanna kind of rush into, to, to things.

And, uh, we've been talking to a couple coaches, but it just didn't feel like it was the right fit until we talked to Eric.

Eric was, uh, was, is a great coach, has worked with great players, uh, has helped many players move up in the rankings in a short amount of time, and they seem to, to, to compete well.

So, you know, seeing, seeing that and also how he, he views my game, and, uh, his, his game philosophy seemed to be very similar to ours.

What is it that you're hoping specifically that he can help you sort of improve on right now?

He asks, "For those of us who won't be able to go to the ESPYs, what's it like behind the scenes?"

Oh, man, it's, it's so much fun.

You see so many athletes that they go and hang out, talk, uh, talk about their seasons, talk about, like, their off-court, uh, or off, uh, field, uh, life, uh, out of their sports.

It's great to, to see what they do, and it's not only training, but it's also what they do on vacation.

So it's like, uh, it's a big, it's a big show.

And also, I think my favorite part is just, uh, kind of seeing everybody joking around.

Like, it's not just competition.

He's asking, "If I was looking for an Airbnb on my way to Montreal, give us some of your favorite spots to eat and maybe a neighborhood that you think is underrated."
